What I've been up to lately...
Listening to chamber music
I've been listening to oodles & oodles of chamber music like the baddest 18th century bitch in town. You should try it, you'll like it.
getting into The Strain??
I have no idea why I like this show. I really don't. A co-worker of mine really likes it too and she has no idea why either (she's a 40-something mother of two, just for reference). It's mostly gross and often has me questioning the competence of the characters, but I like it still?? Ok, well I can definitely say that I like Corey Stoll. And his wig, which is quite convincing most of the time. (He also had a pretty magnificent wig as Hemingway in Midnight in Paris.) I think my favorite is when he's wearing a beanie though, because you just know baby is bald under there.
obsessing over the knits on Outlander
Why oh why haven't I learned to knit? I want the whole range of Outlander knits, plus one Scottish Highlander hunk please.
researching eats in New Orleans
I am going to visit New Orleans at the end of the month, a city I've wanted to explore for ages. My friend and I are going, and as two foodies we will eat & drink our way through the city. Beignets will be devoured. Absinthe will be tried. Commander's Palace will be conquered. And it will be glorious. If anyone out there reads this and has some recommendations for food or sightseeing TELL ME.
